Starter

Figure 4

• The electric starter is equipped with a grounded

three-wire power cord and plug, and is designed to

operate on 120 volt AC household current.

• Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire

grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you

are not certain.

• If your home wiring system is not a three-wire

grounded system, do not use this electric starter

under any conditions.

• If your home electrical system is grounded, but

be installed by a licensed electrician before using

the electric starter.

• If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,

proceed as follows.

• Move Choke Control to "Full" position.

• Push Primer three (3) times, making sure to cover

vent hole when pushing.Connect power cord to

switch box on dash panel. Plug the other end of

power cord into a three-prong 120-volt, grounded,

AC receptacle.

• Push starter button to crank engine. As you crank

the engine, move choke lever to FULL choke

position.

• When engine starts, release starter button, and

move choke gradually to OFF. If engine falters,

move choke immediately to FULL and then

gradually to OFF.

• When disconnecting the powercord, always unplug

from the three-prong receptacle first, and then from

the snow thrower.

RecoilStarter

• Move choke lever to FULL choke position (cold

engine start).

• If engine is warm, place choke in OFF position

instead of FULL.

• Push primer button two or three times for cold

engine start.

• If engine is warm, push primer button only once.

NOTE: Always cover vent hole in primer button when
